(中央社華盛頓4日綜合外電報導)美國財政部今天對土耳其一家小型投資銀行及兩家子公司實施制裁,這是川普政府加大對伊朗施加經濟壓力行動的一環。

財政部表示,總部位於伊斯坦堡的黃金全球投資銀行(Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi)、資產管理公司黃金全球資產管理(Golden Global Portfoy Yonetimi Anonim Sirketi),以及資產租賃公司黃金全球資產租賃(Golden Global Varlik Kiralama Anonim Sirketi),因協助促進中國與伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊(IRGC)聖城部隊(Qods Force)之間的貿易往來而遭到指定制裁。

路透社報導,這項行動象徵川普政府在目前的施壓行動中,首度有北大西洋公約組織(NATO)盟國的銀行遭到打擊。

隨著美軍發動軍事打擊以及對荷莫茲海峽(Strait of Hormuz)實施海上封鎖,仍未能迫使伊朗重返談判桌,華府正逐步收緊對德黑蘭的經濟壓迫。

財政部外國資產管制辦公室(Office of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC)表示,這項制裁將這3個實體列入「指定制裁」(Specially Designated Nationals)名單,切斷與以美元為基礎的金融體系連結。

財政部同時發布一項通用許可,允許逐步結束與受制裁實體的交易。

財政部長貝森特(Scott Bessent)透過聲明指出,美國政府最新的行動向那些涉嫌協助與伊朗及其伊斯蘭革命衛隊進行貿易的機構釋出明確訊息。

貝森特表示:「我們知道你們是誰,也知道你們身在何處,我們將繼續與盟邦及夥伴共同採取行動,直到徹底將伊朗勢力斬草除根為止。」

土耳其第35大銀行黃金全球投資銀行駁斥美國財政部的指控。

黃金全球投資銀行表示,向來遵守當地與國際銀行法規及合規要求,並補充指出將針對毫無根據的指控尋求法律途徑捍衛權益。
